Michael Gillette’s Theatrical Design and Production, 6 th ed.) Expectations
Designs for theatrical costumes consist of colored sketches depicting the clothing and accessories that will be worn by the actor. These responsibilities include what is seen (clothes, shoes, hats, purses, canes, parasols, jewelry, wigs, makeup, etc.) as well as what isn’t (corsets, hoops, boning, character elements such as padded stomachs, etc.). The Costume Designer is responsible for the visual appearance of the actors.
